Senior Balance Exercises For Bone Weakness

  Older adults who struggle with fragile bones need to perform  senior balance exercises on a regular basis to limit the possibility of a fall and injury from falling. Please see  http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Fragile bones can be better defined as a condition called osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization as a "systemic skeletal disease characterized by a low bone mass and a microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture." Osteoporosis-related fractures secondary to a fall have a major impact on posture, mobility, independence, function and health. Given current projections about fragility fractures, it is likely that up to 50% of women and 20% of men who reach 50 years of age will have a fragility fracture in their remaining lifetime. As a result, it is imperative for individuals as they age to perform balance exercises to develop topnotch stability and minimize the potential of a fall and fracture due to a fall.

Senior Balance Exercises For Fall Prevention

   Given the high incidence of fragility fractures, especially among women as they age, it is critical for individuals to begin a program of senior balance exercises early to develop the necessary balance abilities to reduce the risk of a fall. An equilibrium program can be incorporated in a daily physical fitness program. As an example, you can perform movement exercises like lunges, which contribute to static and dynamic stability. Furthermore, you can perform biceps curls with weights while you stand on one foot, challenging your stability skills. You can learn other steadiness ideas as well as a step by step series of senior balance exercises by following along with the routine developed and presented by a qualified Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
